Engine Synchro Shift
TM
(ESS
TM
) Transmission Features
Synchronizes the Transmission
r
The Engine Synchro Shift
TM
(ESS
TM
) system automatically synchronizes the transmissionby matching engine rpm to the vehicle’s road speed.
Shifting Gears
r
With the ESS
TM
system you only use the clutch pedal to START and STOP the vehicle or to shift into FORWARD or REVERSE. If you use the clutch while driving, the ESS
TM
system becomes inactive, and you will have manual control of the transmission.
Automated HIGH and LOW Range
r
Range shifts are automatic, which means you do not have to preselect HIGH or LOW ranges.
Break Torque
r
You can move the shift lever out of gear WITHOUT changing throttle position. The ESS
TM
system will automatically synchronize engine rpm to road speed.
r
With the ESS
TM
system you can apply the service brake as you downshift through the gears when you are stopping the vehicle.
r
On steep grades, the ESS
TM
system allows you to maintain throttle position WITHOUT
usingthe clutch.

How ZF Meritor’s Engine Synchro Shift
TM
(ESS
TM
) System Works
The ZF Meritor Engine Synchro Shift
TM
(ESS
TM
) system collects and relays the following information to the transmission control unit (TCU):
r
The positions of the system switch and the shift intent switch
r
The speeds of the transmission input shaft and output shaft
r
The position of the shift lever in the shift tower.
The TCU processes the information and relays the data to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM increases or decreases engine rpm to match the vehicle’s road speed. The TCU also controls the HIGH or LOW range selection in the auxiliary case on the rear of the transmission.

On the Shift Knob
The System Switch
The two-position system switch, the lowest switch on the operator’s side of the shift knob, turns the ESS
TM
system ON and OFF and displays the system status.
r
When you slide the system switch DOWN, you see the word “ON.” This means that the ESS
TM
system is activated.
r
When you slide the switch UP, you see the word “OFF.” This means that the ESS
TM
system is not activated, and you have manual control of the transmission.
The Shift Intent Switch
r
The shift intent switch is a four-position rocker switch located above the system switch on the operator’s side of the shift knob.
r
When the ESS
TM
system is turned ON, the shift intent switch signals the ECM that you will UPSHIFT or DOWNSHIFT, based on your input.
r
You can also use the shift intent switch to release torque on the gears — break torque — just before you shift. Just press the switch all the way in to the end of its travel, and then release it without changing throttle position.
r
When the ESS
TM
system is OFF (which means that system is inactive), you have manual control of the transmission. The shift intent switch acts as a range selector.
r
To preselect range shifts
: While in gear, press the TOP of the shift intent switch for HIGH range and the BOTTOM of the switch for LOW range.
How to Shift
WARNING
The transmission must be in the NEUTRAL (N)
position when you start the vehicle. If you start the vehicle with the transmission in gear, the vehicle will suddenly move FORWARD or REARWARD. Serious personal injury and damage to the transmission can result.
To Start the Vehicle
1. Check that the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL (N) position.
2. Push the clutch pedal to the bottom of travel to engage the clutch brake.
3. Start the engine.
4. Slowly release the clutch pedal.
5. Allow the air pressure in the air system to reach the specified range on the gauge.
6. Release the parking brakes.

Shift Into a Starting Gear
1. Turn ON (activate) the ESS
TM
System:
r
Slide the two-position system switch (the lowest switch on the operator’s side of the shift knob) DOWN. You will see the word “ON,” which means that the ESS
TM
system is activated.
CAUTION
Use the clutch brake only for initial gear engagement when the vehicle is stationary to avoid damage to the input shaft and/or the clutch brake.
2. Disengage the Clutch:
r
Push the clutch pedal to the bottom of travel. (The clutch brake will touch the clutch release bearing.) Clutch disengagement stops the transmission for initial gear engagement.
CAUTION
Always use the correct starting gear when you operate the transmission. Do not shift into NEUTRAL and coast. Damage to the transmission can result.
3. Shift Into a Starting Gear:
r
With the clutch pedal at the bottom of travel, move the shift lever into a starting gear.
r
Slowly release the clutch pedal to move the vehicle FORWARD.
The ESS
TM
System Safety Feature: The “Time-Out Sequence”
The ESS
TM
system has a built-in safety feature called the “time-out” sequence. If you do not complete a shift from NEUTRAL (N) within three seconds after you break torque, the system becomes inactive — or “times-out” — and returns the transmission to manual control.
To turn
ON
(reactivate) the ESS
TM
system so that you can continue to shift:
r
Press the shift intent switch again. (Refer to the “Upshifting” and “Downshifting” sections in this manual for instructions on how to use the shift intent switch.)
Upshifting Into the Next Higher Gear
NOTE:
Expect a DROP in rpm when you UPSHIFT.
1. Press the TOP of the shift intent switch
once
for first shift. This signals the ESS
TM
system that you will UPSHIFT. Then move UP through the gears without pressing the switch again.
Figure A
.
2. To break engine torque, continue to press the TOP of the shift intent switch all the way in to the end of its travel and then release it, which enables the shift lever to move freely out of gear.
Figure B
.
NOTE:
When you shift, do not rush or try to “beat” the system. If you experience “gear clashing,” you have shifted too fast. Just shift at a natural pace or speed.
3.
Immediately
move the shift lever into NEUTRAL (N) and pause for a second. The ESS
TM
system will slow down the engine to the correct rpm and synchronize the transmission to road speed.
4. Move the shift lever into the next HIGHER gear.
Upshifting Into the Rest of the Gears
1. Press the TOP of the shift intent switch all the way in to the end of its travel and then release it each time you move the shift lever. The range shift is automatic.
2. Repeat Steps 1 through 4.

WARNING
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection when you perform vehicle maintenance or service.
When you work on an electrical system, the possibility of electrical shock exists, and sparks can ignite flammable substances. You must always disconnect the battery ground cable before you work on an electrical system to prevent serious personal injury and damage to components.
Flash Codes and Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) Diagnostics
The Transmission Control Unit (TCU) uses sequences of light flashes called flash codes to identify faults that the TCU detects and stores into memory. After you identify the fault by observing the flash code, use the VOM to test the area where the flash code indicates that the fault has occurred. An authorized Meritor distributor/dealer should repair the fault.
There are faults that can occur in the ESS
TM
system that flash codes will identify. Each fault has its own sequence of light flashes (flash code).
Questions and Answers About Flash Codes and System Faults
What are flash codes?
ZF Meritor’s transmission control unit (TCU) uses sequences of light flashes called flash codes to identify faults that the TCU detects and stores into memory.
What is a “fault”?
A “fault” is a problem that currently exists in the ESS
TM
system or system components.
Does each fault have its own flash code?
Yes. For example, Flash Code 36 identifies a voltage fault in the low range solenoid. Refer to the table in this section for a list of flash codes and fault descriptions.
How do you retrieve flash codes from the TCU?
Use the “Check Transmission” light and toggle switch, an optional OEM installation that is usually located on the dashboard near the check engine light. The toggle switch activates the “Check Transmission” light to identify ESS
TM
system faults.
In what order does the TCU store faults?
The TCU stores faults in the order that they occur.
When should you clear flash codes from TCU memory?
Repair all faults before you clear flash codes from TCU memory.
What happens if you repair a fault but do not clear it from TCU memory?
The fault will remain in the TCU as an inactive fault. The next time you perform flash code diagnostics:
r
Test the area to confirm that the fault has been repaired. If there are other faults in TCU memory, repair the faults.
r
Clear the repaired faults from TCU memory.
Who should repair a fault in the ESS
TM
system?
A ZF Meritor-authorized technician should repairthe fault.
Activating TCU Flash Code Diagnostics
OEM-Installed “Check Transmission” Light and Toggle Switch
NOTE:
If a “Check Transmission” light and toggle switch are not installed in the vehicle, call Meritor’s Customer Service Center at 800-535-5560 for assistance.
1. With the ignition OFF, PRESS and HOLD the ESS
TM
diagnostic toggle switch.
2. Turn the ignition ON, but do not start the engine.
3. Release the ESS
TM
diagnostic toggle switch three seconds after turning the ignition ON. The TCU activates and begins a self-diagnostic check of the system. The “Check Transmission” light will flash to verify that the system is operating correctly.
Section 2Flash Code Diagnostics
8
How the “Check Transmission” Light Displays Flash Codes
NOTE:
The “Check Transmission” light continues to display flash codes until you turn the ignition OFF. Flash codes will remain in TCU memory until you clear them.
1. After the TCU checks the system, the “Check Transmission” light pauses for about three seconds.
2. The “Check Transmission” light then begins to consecutively display faults in two- or three-digit flash code sequences, with a short pause between each digit and a longer pause between each sequence.
r
An example of a two-digit fault is Flash Code 36, a fault in the low range solenoid. For this fault, the “Check Transmission” light would display the two-digit flash code as
3-6
.
Figure 2.1
.
r
An example of a three-digit fault is Flash Code 226, an ESS
TM
switch assembly fault. For this fault, the “Check Transmission” light would display the three-digit flash code
2-2-6
.
Figure 2.1
.
3.
If the TCU has stored only one fault into memory:
The “Check Transmission” light will continue to repeat the flash code sequence for that fault until you turn the ignition OFF.
4.
If the TCU has stored more than one fault into memory:
The “Check Transmission” light will continue to repeat the flash code sequences for all of the faults until you turn the ignition OFF.
5. After all of the flash codes have been displayed, the “Check Transmission” light will pause for two seconds and then continue to display the flash codes again until you turn the engine OFF. The faults will remain in TCU memory until you clear them.

Record the Flash Codes
1. Prepare to write down the flash code sequences that the “Check Transmission” light will display when you turn the ignition ON.
2. After you record the flash codes, turn the ignition OFF.
How to Read Flash Codes
1. Compare each two- or three-digit flash code sequence that you have recorded to the fault that corresponds in the table below.
2. Test each area where the “Check Transmission” light has identified a fault. Repair the fault. Clear the flash codes from TCU memory.

How to Clear Flash Codes from TCU Memory
NOTE:
The vehicle must be stationary to retrieve flash codes. Have a ZF Meritor-authorized technician repair all active faults before clearing flash codes.
1. Park the vehicle. Turn the engine OFF. Turn the ignition ON. The check transmission light must be displaying flash codes before you can clear the codes from TCU memory.
2. PRESS and HOLD the diagnostic toggle switch.
3. Turn the ignition OFF. Continue to hold the diagnostic toggle switch for about three seconds.
4. Release the diagnostic toggle switch. The flash codes will be cleared from TCU memory.
Testing ESS

System Conditions That Do Not Have Flash Codes(NO ACTIVE CODE)
ZF Meritor’s Engine Synchro Shift
TM
(ESS
TM
) transmission electronic control module (ECM) uses sequences of light flashes called flash codes to identify and display faults that the ECM detects and stores into memory. Each fault that is related to the ESS
TM
transmission has its own flash code sequence.
However, three conditions can occur that are not ESS
TM
system-related faults and, therefore, do not have flash codes (NO ACTIVE CODE): The two neutral/in gear switch circuits short and remain open, the cruise control pause switch short and remain open, the cruise control pause switch shorts and remains open, and the OEM clutch switch assembly does not operate correctly. Refer to the table below for results of, and corrective actions for, these conditions.

WARNING
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection when you perform maintenance or service.
When you work on an electrical system, the possibility of electrical shock exists, and sparks can ignite flammable substances. You must always disconnect the battery ground cable before you work on an electrical system to prevent serious personal injury and damage to components.
Wire Splicing Procedure
1. Remove 0.5-inch (12 mm) of insulation from each end of the wires that are to be connected.
Figure 2.2
.
CAUTION
Splices that are not sealed correctly can damage components. Always use the correct crimping tool required for the application to ensure that the splice connector tube will completely seal the wires.
2. Insert each end of the wire(s) into a self-sealing “butt splice” connector tube. Use the correct crimping tool to crimp each end of the tube.
Figure 2.3
.
WARNING
If used incorrectly, a heat gun can cause serious personal injury and damage to components. Always carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you use a heat gun.
3. Use a heat gun to heat the connector until the ends of the connector seal the wire. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you use the heat gun.
Figure 2.4
.
4. Pull the connector to verify that it is crimped correctly.
WARNING
Wire splices that are placed too close together can “short circuit” and cause serious personal injury and damage to components. Always position wire splices at least one inch (25 mm) apart.
5. Position wire splices at least one inch (25 mm) apart.
